Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Angel food cake mix | 1 box (16 oz) | Use the dry mix |
| Crushed pineapple in juice | 1 can (20 oz) | Use the pineapple and juice; do not drain |
Directions
1. Heat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch glass baking dish, but leave it completely ungreased.
2. Combine the Ingredients
Pour the dry angel food cake mix into a large bowl. Add the entire can of crushed pineapple along with its juice.
Stir everything together by hand until the batter is thoroughly mixed and becomes light and foamy.
3. Bake
Transfer the mixture to the ungreased baking dish and smooth the top.
Bake for approximately 28 to 35 minutes. The cake is ready when the top is golden, the center gently springs back when pressed, and a toothpick inserted close to the middle comes out mostly clean.
4. Let It Cool
Leave the cake in the baking dish for about 20 to 30 minutes before serving. It may shrink or settle slightly as it cools, which is completely normal and helps give the cake its soft, tender texture.
5. Slice and Serve
Cut the cooled cake into squares. It can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
Serving Ideas
- Add a spoonful of whipped cream for a light and creamy topping.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream for a more indulgent dessert.
- Scatter fresh berries over each serving for a colorful summer twist.
- Enjoy a slice alongside coffee or tea for a simple afternoon snack.
With just two ingredients and a few easy steps, this pineapple angel food cake shows that a delicious homemade dessert doesn’t have to require a long shopping list or hours of preparation.
